[BioC] How to get a development version of a package?

[Daniel Brewer]

Hi,

No I wasn't seeing anything different.  What I was after was the new
KEGG.db/org.Hs.eg.db because I was finding when using KEGGSOAP that some
of the KEGG pathways IDs found in the annotation files were non-existent
via KEGGSOAP and had in fact changed ID (based on the name).  As the new
release is out soon I will just wait or find another way round it.

Many thanks

Dan
